I was skeptical about a battery operated hedge trimmer but this product made me a believer. All of my other lawn and garden equipment is gas powered with a pull start making it difficult for my wife to use. This trimmer is the first battery operated piece of lawn or garden equipment I have purchased and now my wife can help me with the outside work because it's light-weight and easy to use. It has plenty of power and the battery life was surprisingly long enough to do all of our trimming on a single charge.
Pros: Cuts Well, Easy to Use, Sturdy, Good Size & Weight, Durable, Powerful, Light Weight, Easy to Store, Long-Lasting
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this trimmer to replace my 18" electric plug-in. I hesitated worrying that it would not be powerful enough and the charge wouldn't hold up. To my surprise, it is a beast! It cuts everything in its path. It has a battery life indicator showing four bars for full charge. After I cut my hedges which are a total of 25' long, 8' high and 3' deep, the battery charge was still showing four bars. Amazing! To think I almost bought a second battery.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was worried about using a cordless hedge trimmer because the battery would not last. The battery lasted through the whole job. It was my first time trimming so the shrubs were overgrown but the trimmer did just fine. The weight of the unit was more than I was used to, but not having to worry about cutting the cord is a real plus. So far so good.

Best trimmer I have ever used! Being female I needed a lightweight trimmer that I could use for an extended period of time and a battery life to match. I got it all in this unit!
I am a picky gardner and won't let anyone else touch my
bouganvillas and I can trim them all on a single charge. My husband would follow me around and hold the cord on previous trimmers because he got tired of buying and repairing extension cords. So, we are both happy with this
trimmer. The battery life is beyond all expectations and I really like the blade sheath for storage and as a safety feature. Black and Decker really "got it right" on this one!
Pros: Good Size & Weight, Powerful
Yes, I recommend this product.

This was purchased as a gift for my father-in-law ... he's a terrific guy but "fussy" about equipment quality. HE LOVES THIS TRIMMER! Fast, powerful, holds a charge for a long time. Highly recommend it - it's worth the extra money to get this kind of quality.

I have a lot of mature bushes to trim in my yard. This trimmer makes it very easy since it is not only light weight but also cordless. The free extra battery promotion also sweetened the deal.

This replaces an electric corded trimmer and has plenty of power for most pruning and trimming needs. It is light and well balanced and has less vibration than the trimmer it replaces. After using this, I used the old corded trimmer, which now felt very heavy and unwieldy. The battery lasted more than an hour and a half using it in an economical manner. A backup battery would be needed if used in a commercial application or if needed to trim a large estate.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The power is more than sufficient to trim hedges and bushes. The battery charges quickly, and it is so nice not to have to breathe carbon emissions or have to constantly be alert to the location of power cords. This trimmer is also lightweight which reduces fatigue. The final product is a nicely trimmed hedge. This unit comes with an excellent warranty as well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am a 45 year old woman with temporary physical disabilities (probably shouldn't be doing any hedge trimming, but oh well). I have weakened muscles/tendons which cause all (and I mean all) of bones to go out of place. Bottom line I had no problems operating this trimmer for 40 mins including above my head and at ground level. It is exactly what it says...compact and lightweight. The battery fully charged in about an hour. I love it.
Pros: Cuts Well, Easy to Use, Good Size & Weight, Powerful, Light Weight

I've only used it once so far, to trim a large bush and a 20-30 foot wall of Asian jasmine. It worked well on both, and the job hardly put a dent in the battery's charge. I already own the 36-volt string trimmer, so having a backup battery will be handy, too.

Long lasting battery never needs recharging while using it for more than two hours. Recharges fast when done. Cuts through shrubs and perennials easily. Very safe making a novice like myself feel confident.

Cons: lot of force to seat battery & remove it.

Despite reviews of the talking about the 24 volt model requiring 8 hours to recharge, 2 hours seems to be plenty of time for a full recharge of this 36 volt model. And it has plenty of cutting power, to boot! Overall, it's a better device than I expected.

I was thinking of buying a gas powered hedge trimmer, but thought my wife would NEVER be able to use it. This lithium battery is great - very short re-charge time, long battery life (3 - 4 hours constant use), and great power. Unless you are a commercial landscaper, this would be a #1 recommendation.

Best trimmer that I have owned. Light weight enough for one hand operation. Powerful enough for large bush trimming. Quick charge and at least an hour of heavy trimming per charge.
Only on line at this time -- don't know why they don't stock it in the local stores.

This is an amazing trimmer! I can do all the hedges around my house, and it never ran out of battery power. The blades are long enough that I don't have to reach across the hedge to get the entire top. I highly recommend this, it's light weight, the blades are sharp and I had the job done in no time.
